My mystery adventure — here are the clues!
Thursday, Oct 16 2008

Holy fucking shit, I actually bought the tickets tonight. For some reason, the fares went down over $100 since yesterday. (Thank you, cheapflights.com! Best flight deals, all in one place!) Because of that, I bought the tickets tonight, before the price could increase again.

I am spending Thanksgiving on a continent on which I have never been.

I promised a clue. Here are a few pictures of my destination:

I fly out on the day before Thanksgiving and I return the following Wednesday.

I AM SO EXCITED. And scared. And a bit terrified, frankly — but I AM SO EXCITED that I am finally having the kind of spontaneous adventure of which I’ve dreamed for so long!!
